Hausman’s talk will trace the content and tone of news reporting on vaccination concerns over a 35-year period. Focusing on mainstream reporting, as well as progressive venues, the talk will demonstrate the varied concerns about vaccines in the earlier years of this time frame, and how they were no longer reported on as much after the turn of the millennium. After 2005, reporting across all venues became more inflammatory and focused on the vaccine-refusing and (purportedly) science-denying parent. This change in content and the change in tone can be linked to a variety of factors.
